The ignorance is astounding.

"An Act Party candidate has resigned after her historical comments comparing Covid-19 vaccine mandates to Nazi concentration camps came to light.
Another candidate has apologised and renounced online comments which suggested drownings were connected to the effect of the vaccine, but he has been kept on as a candidate.
Act leader David Seymour said the party’s Rangitata candidate Elaine Naidu Franz, 29th on the list, had offered to stand down after 1News brought her previous comments to Seymour’s attention today.
Seymour said he accepted her offer on the spot.


The party leader was still confident in Act’s candidate vetting process. He said it was impossible to check a candidate’s entire online history and noted how it was likely old online comments resurfacing would be a growing problem for New Zealand politics.
At some point as a society, we have to deal with that,” he said.
Seymour said some people who had applied to be candidates were rejected due to historical comments they’d made. He couldn’t say whether those comments had been primarily Covid-related."

Disappointed with Seymour here, he should have stood by that candidate, her comments were 100% on the mark, those who were unvaxxed felt just like Jews having to wear the star of David.
Lots of Jews could see the comparison.
Why does everyone with a 'cause' always seem to liken there predicament to the Nazis/Jews, like it can ever be comparable... 

Jews didn't have a choice - unvaxxed did...
This world would be a perfect place if it wasn't for the people.
